Food still great! Suprised how empty it is for dinner! Shotgun spud is food crack! Place was clean and staff was friendly!

The 2 meat plate is at least a better value for 25$ which is why I gave it two stars but the puppy plate for 10 dollars is atrocious at least give a full piece of corn not like 1/3 probably frozen bulk bag of corn. You could have gone to a meat deli and had twice as much meat for a 1/3 the price. Flavor may be alright but for 10 dollars there should be more meat and bigger piece of corn, or at least two sides for that price... I'd definitely think twice ordering anything for kids cause my 4 yr old ate this and was still hungry and not surprisingly. That puppy box is at MAX 5 dollars, you get more at legitimately any other place I've ordered a kids portion at. Definitely won't be coming back, money goes further at other places than this. read more

Bird Dog BBQ - $10 puppy plate - Barbeque Near Me - Fountain, Colorado

Very good American food the place reminds me of my pa's old restaurant back in Lincoln Nebraska.

I would say pass.. and go to Rudy's instead. I love supporting local but sometimes the chains get it right. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was dry, usually pulled pork is juicy and a little fatty.. nahhh not here. I asked if I could get sliced brisket instead of chop, lady at the counter said no as she's slicing brisket instead front of us and chopping it up for the order. Honestly, the sides were better than the meat. Bummer. read more

I was hesitant due to the 3.5 stars. The food was sooooo good and the service was great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good BBQ. read more

Fantastic service, good was excellent... I will return very soon... we ordered Turkey, brisket, pulled pork and sausage...

UPDATE: This place seems to be going down hill right before our eyes. The pulled pork, already dried out from being shredded into sandpaper, now seems to lack any smoke flavor at all. This is a disturbing development. Previously their shredded meat at least had some barbecue flavor but now it doesn't even have that. Does anyone know a good pitmaster looking for work? This place needs help. -- SUMMARY: Pretty good, but with some room for improvement. GOOD: Overall great barbecue across the menu. All the meat is flavorful and nicely smoked. Service is friendly. Sides are great. We enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. Sides of okra, slaw, and corn were also good. Everyone who works there is nice, and I can see why this is a favorite lunch spot. MEH: My only real criticism is how the brisket is served. They smoke this wonderful meat, but then shred it to a fine pulp. Would taste so much better sliced. The character of a good brisket comes from the slowly rendered connective tissue, and this is lost when the finished product is finely shredded. However, I will say that unlike other places that make this mistake, Bird Dog somehow maintains the brisket flavor and moisture even through shredding. OVERALL: I really like this place, and it was a nice discovery on moving to Fountain. I will be back to try the rest of the menu. I'll update this review further once I try the chicken, sausage, and other menu items. read more

This isn't my first time here and I'm just extremely disappointed in how my food looks and taste . This is $24 worth of food btw . Which I can respect for a bbq place but for the quality you're getting and for how much it is , this is such bare minimum crap . I feel like this place is a hit or miss and today was insanely a miss . The brisket was so dry and unseasoned . And the sausage might as well have been left to go stale out in the open . Poor excuse for an establishment read more

Very seldom do I write reviews unless I've had super good service or super bad service. I've been a fan of her dog barbecue for years. Their food has been exceptional. Due to a few things we haven't been able to order from them for about a year. We finally ordered tonight and I was so excited because her food is usually so good. It was horrible. That's all I can say. It was the worst food I've ever had. First problem was online it gave a description of a family meal for $64 we thought that's reasonable so they went down to get it come to find out it's $99 not 64 we went ahead and did it because as I said Before The food is exceptional. The macaroni was overdone and very watery. The beans were OK. I get the sausages because they're so yummy. They were terrible and grainy. I don't know if they switched sausages. Usually, they had two kinds of sausages, but they only had one kind and it was gross. I have it tasted the other meats we got Brisket which usually our slices of brisket this was just a handful of shredded beef. I don't know if it was brisket or not. And then we got some pulled pork and some chicken. I'm very disappointed and I will not go back there. read more

You can smell the smoke when you drive up. You are greeted immediately and they start making your plate. The pulled pork, brisket, and ribs are just delicious. Their beans are as incredible as their sauces. Lors of seating inside and out on their patio. Always clean and orderly. Their I sweet tea goes so well with their BBQ. read more

Bad. I went in at 12:30 on a Tuesday. Room had one other customer. I ordered brisket and pork spare ribs. Brisket was bland and dry. No bark or sign of a flavorful crust.Pork ribs were thoroughly dried out, tough and over cooked. Dry white bone exposed along the side. One small bite of the rib was enough. I brought my plate to register and said, I think for ribs to be this dry this early in the day, it looks like I'm getting yesterday's old meat. I was offered something else but I lost my appetite for it. They were that bad. I know it's not unusual for a bbq place but it's paper plates and small flimsy cutlery, very annoying. read more

Great service and good food. I feel they are a bit different from other bbq restaurants. I like to go to lesser known places that are different. read more

I've heard lots of good things about this spot and finally hit it up. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised - it was delish. We ordered the shotgun spud, pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. What made it so dang good was their sauce! Sides are pretty average, but let's be real, you're not there for the sides! Service was quick, staff was friendly and prices are average for a BBQ place. Highly recommend if you're on this side of town. read more

I wanted to like this place, but the food immediately upset my stomach. I almost threw up upon leaving. The food is also outrageously expensive. Over $40 for two people. People seemed friendly. But not a place I would come back to. read more

Good food, nice set up, they are a bit pricey for what you get, best bbq around here that I've found

The meat is okay nothing to Bragg about! Should be more moist and not so dry? Sides are okay? Just not worth the cost read more

Just ordered $300 in BBQ from your location in Fountain. Pick Up.. drove 30 min back to where a crew of people were waiting to eat it. Well.. needless to say the pickup didn't have any BBQ sauce.. Now being a BBQ restaurant I would imagine that is one of two things you take pride in.. But apparently no.. We called back and the manager said "we can give you an extra pound of meat." Well no you should come deliver it to us.. its an hour round trip.. Getting a one star review.. read more

I always go here when I want to treat myself. Their meat is always tender and flavorful! They can be a little pricey, but that's what inflation does to you. They do have some family packages that give you a better bang for your buck. Peach cobbler is a must-have...they have the best in the world! read more

Decided to try this restaurant as we recently pass by. The brisket sandwich was good and a decent size. The okra was also good, very crispy. The mac and cheese was not terrible but did not taste home made, was very artificial tasting. Overall, it's decent and satisfied my BBQ craving but there are a few things I'd add or change. 1.) Home made lemonade. The BBQ place I'd go to in Texas had fresh squeezed lemonade that was amazing. 2.) Upgrade the mac and cheese. The cheese tasted artificial, try a Home made recipe. 3.) Offer banana pudding. Those are my three suggestions that would make this place a 5 star. read more

My pulled pork sandwhich was cold but my fries were piping hot? Make it make sense this is definitely NOT Texas toast. And I didn't even get my baked potato casserole. Luckily I did pick up or else I wouldnt have gotten my drink either read more

Great food and service, the staff helped us save money by recommending the family meal. More than enough food and really enjoyed the the two house BBQ sauces. read more

This place is super accessible, easy parking and in a convenient location. Definitely need good BBQ around here. The ambiance inside is pretty typical BBQ-jointesque. Came here for a late dinner to go on a Friday evening. We were quickly taken care of. The staff was friendly and more than generous with the meat. They are very personable and made our evening! The prices were especially reasonable for the amount of food we got and for how delicious it was. We got the spud with pulled pork and ribs and fried okra with the mild and spicy sauce on the side. The meat was delicious, flavorful (even without the sauce), and so filling. I loved the flavors the sauce added. The okra was fresh and plenty, definitely ate every last bite! Will come back here for sure, great place to get a filling and yummy meal! read more

Not bad. A brisket sandwich, two sides and a drink for $12.50. Not overly generous with the meat either, they shred the brisket rather than slicing it. The place is of the basic strip mall variety with bare floors, plastic/metal/formica furniture, and a hot table where your order the food stored within. So much for atmosphere. The staff were friendly enough, but did little more than plate the food, hand it to us, and take our money, apparently expecting a tip like most places these days that do not offer table service. Having lived in Texas and more recently Kansas City, I was not overly impressed with the barbecue and the hamburger buns were straight out of a bag clearly in view on the rack behind the counter. The fries were OK, large frozen steak fries that were plenty hot and crispy. CombatCritic Gives Bird Dog BBQ 6 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Bombs Are Better! read more

Good bbq, great service from the guys working and a nice change of pace from all the fast food in the area. I'm a southern girl so I can be critical about my bbq, but no complaints. Try the okra and push for them serving Mac and cheese! read more

Great food and staff are very friendly and engaging with customer which is always nice to see. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the several times we've been in they always seem to be out of something. Guess this means it's delish and popular but I little frustrating for the customer. read more

Great local BBQ. Daily specials. Friendly staff . Their turkey is fantastic. Outdoor seating available weather permitting

The sauce, meat, and eating area layout were all good. The staff was great. I will certainly continue to stop in for my BBQ fix. **Smoked Turkey Sandwich - favorite! read more

We ordered through Door Dash one night. We had a Pulled Pork Sandwich and a Brisket and Sausage Sandwich. We also ordered Apple and Peach cobblers. While the BBQ Sauce was good, that was the only item with any flavor. :( The buns of the Sandwiches were store bought, the meat wasn't spiced at all, the coleslaw on the pulled pork sandwich was bland and the peaches in the cobbler were canned peaches. We liked the fact that we were able to order their BBQ sauces in different levels of spiciness. Overall for the amount of money we spent, we weren't very impressed. read more

Got super pricey a few years ago and nothing about the food had changed. I no longer eat meat but buying it for my kids was a gut punch.

Staff is great and the food is always delicious,always exactly what we ordered, we will continue to go back, we drive up from Pueblo just to get the food read more

I really enjoyed this place! I got the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and Mac and cheese. The bbq sauce is nothing short of delicious and the sandwich and beans were amazing!! The Mac and cheese is not really what I'm used to but it wasn't bad by any means. It has a bit of black pepper in it that threw the taste off but it's not overpowering. read more

The food is amazing. Some of the best BBQ I have had out here in Colorado Springs. The amount you get is so feeling as well.

In the Fountain area there isn't much to eat except fast food so when we were in the mood to eat we decided to come here because we have been here many times before. Can I say this is the best BBQ I've ever had, absolutely not! Lol... but what keeps me coming back is the service by the staff. Every time I come here the staff is so pleasant and the food is good. I especially love the shotgun spud with some yummy fried okra! read more

Matt- was awesome at accommodating 20lbs of pulled pork. I trusted his judgement for serving size with the # of people that were guessed to be at the holiday party! I called got a quote, and requested to (save the quote and order) I called back the same day, to clarify the order.
